A grizzly bear is on the loose after attacking a school group in Canada, leaving 11 people injured, two critically.
The incident happened on Thursday afternoon on a walking trail in the town of Bella Coola, in the province of British Columbia (BC).
Residents have been warned to remain indoors while armed officers try to track down the animal. Four of the injured remain in hospital as of Friday afternoon, BC’s Health Services Authority has said.
A male teacher “got the whole brunt of it” and some children were hit with bear spray as the adults tried to fend off the animal, Veronica Schooner, a parent, told the Canadian Press.
